RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
 
The term respiration includes the following  distinct  processes
:
Pulmonary ventilation (breathing)
 –
mechanical process, moves air into and out of lungs (expiration + inspiration)
 Gas exchange (oxygen loading and carbon dioxide unloading) between :
 –
air and blood in lungs which is called
external respiration 
and
 –
 blood and tissue cells in systemic capillaries which is called
internal respiration
 Oxygen utilization by tissues known as
cellular respiration. 
 –
is the corner stone of all energy producing chemical reactions in the  body =>
One mechanical + three physiological processes

 The respiratory system also has the following functions:
 –
Regulation of blood PH
 –
Contains receptors for the sense of smell
 –
Filtration of inspired air
 –
Production of sound
 –
